Ms. Carlsen
I just want you to know i feel extremely traumatized by the way
i opened up to you
about trauma involving my 2002 rape, kidnapping, and strangulation & other violence i suffered
and racism in my home town of nashville, tennessee
as well as gender discrimination in my adult life
and then you kicked me out of Beacon Clubhouse via the male osarch orak.
i was not recruited to your organization to be abused by males in your orbit.
your betrayal of my safety by proffering me to be abused by them, is a severe breach of trust.
i opened up to you about boundary violations.
i do not want to go into osarch's office alone with him, especially when he was mad at me, and i never should have been physically cornered by him.
he got in my space at beacon Clubhouse---getting far closer to me than i feel comfortable---b4 covid restrictions had lessened. he was not wearing a mask, but got in my space possibly a foot away from me.
additionally, you gave this information that i sent to YOUR email, not only to osarch orak, but to other men that make me feel uncomfortable, kirk wintermute and joshua stellmon, as well as unidentified members of your board of directors.
please identify them, and stop concealing the identity of people whom you have defamed me to.
as a survivor, your treatment of me has worsened my PTSD.
your email should have been a safe way to let my concerns be known,
including my concerns about osarch orak using sexual innuendo around homeless women and beacon members.
i am upset to learn he has cornered other members of beacon clubhouse.
i have felt uncomfortable about this since january when i first found out about the extent of the sexual innuendo and locker room talk from osarch orak.
i had first noticed inappropriate talk from osarch in april-may 2021.
it was agony, worrying about how to whistleblow it, when we all felt sure you would side with your partner, and not the women and men who felt violated by the creepy innuendo.
i opened up about not liking the term "b-word" when used at beacon clubhouse by osarch orak.
someone should have apologized to me that OVER TEN homeless people felt the need to complain to me about osarch's use of sexual innuendo and or harsh treatment.
that put me in a painfully awkward position, because they did not feel safe to come to you, assuming you would protect your partner and not meet their needs.
your relationship is a conflict of interest that prevents you looking at the situation fairly.
you defended quentin/nicholas after he assaulted dwayne and never spoke to me or the other five witnesses about the assault.
you never offered any counseling or emergency response to how traumatized we would feel after witnessing such a brutal attack.
he went on to bloody the face of a man in a wheelchair.
i continue to feel unsafe around him.
he began to harass me in the street regularly.
it is completely unfair that you let this violent man attend your facility, but kick me out for caring about verbal abuse, sexual innuendo, and racism.
I reported witnessing numerous assaults.
Nobody responded, except to invalidate my trauma.
i will be working on a plan to feed the people you kick out of meals.
i want the "starvation" as a punishment routine, to stop immediately.
it hurts the poor immensely and they have nicknamed it the "HUNGER GAMES."
osarch has refused to give meals for a week for someone who complained about moldy food.
starvation should never be a punishment.
it hurts me so much this is happening.
if you did this to animals, it would be considered animal abuse.
you cannot starve cats and dogs as a punishment for personality.
your denial of meals is extremely hurtful across the homeless and low income community.
please do not deceive the county into funding discriminatory programs.
please inform your donors of this discrimination against your clients.
please start delivering at least box or sack lunches at your door for ALL the people you have excluded from meals.
you never made me feel safe to tell you that a homeless man cory quint put his hand on my throat, frightening me, when i tried to help him.
you did not respond.
your lawyers repeatedly invalidated me, when i speak truthfully.
do you know how traumatizing it is to have men tell you you are a liar, when they don't even know what they are talking about?
when i told him it reminded me of my 2002 rapist/strangler/kidnapper, he verbally abused me blaming me for being raped, and implying i exaggerate or deserved it.
i did not attend due to fears of this man who verbally abused me and physically intimidated me.
he said many hurtful things upholding injustice to women and and racial injustice.
this was just a little bit after quentin's march assault.
you didnt see me in april or may because i was avoiding your place.
I told you numerous clients verbally abused me.
Why don't you care or believe me?
Women are regularly verbally abused at your org.
I should not be kicked out for reporting this to you.
Remember when I told you I was sexually harassed by a male client?
when i wrote to you, it was because sara of clubhouse international told me to communicate with you.
it was clear that it was UNSAFE to do so, because your email was used by osarch to punish me and retaliate against me
i found out you asked clarence not to come back. i register protest of the racism and discrimination against him.
you did not respond.
i told you how difficult it is to know several of your clients have neo-nazi tattoos or beliefs or backgrounds.
you did not respond.
I told you about specific violent crimes female clients have suffered.
i register violation of the Violence Against Women Act when you punish women with discrimination for reporting gender based violence they suffer.
you cannot blame and punish women for the abuse they suffer.
Women should never be excluded for DV or stalking or sexual assault trauma.
please study VAWA and how it pertains to your business.
please study ADA and how it pertains to your business.
please study equity of access as enforced by BOLI in public accommodations.
i understand you may share this info with abusive men, who seek to call me a "crazy liar" such as your abusive male lawyers or partner.
please consider how hurtful this is, when i hesitantly breached my privacy to join your org.
Please do not traumatize me with any more dismissive correspondence from insensitive misogynistic male lawyers.
please consider rectifying the injustices at your non-profit.
i do not feel that it was ever fair to hide your partner's criminal history from us, or to allow him to engage in character assassination against me to conceal his wrongdoing.
I wish very much for your safety and healing.
